to me thooo, if they are going to check this terrorism thingy goin on in Nigeria, we must frst of all SECURE OUR BORDERS, cos we have all this idiots coming in freely from places like NIGER REPUBLIC. So its very difficult to differentiate them from HAUSA NIGERIANS

@ BEAF, i would jut like to ask u a simple question, take jos for example there was the first religious crisis there, Mr Jonathan visited that place, there was heavy military presence there and yet this incident still occured. Abuja again bomb blast on indepdence day, even at the sit of government and the security agents said they were untop of the situation and yet this same still occured again. Dont you think its a failure on the path of the government and its security agents??, because i want ppl to be logical and not just blame politicians for the failing of the security agencies.

There one thing that has chraterised this government, ITS EITHER THEY BLAME OTHER FOR THEIR FAILLINGS OR DENY THERI INVOLVEMENT IN CERTAIN ISSUES. ppl should think of it themselves

dis is not time to apportion blames on anyonee, its time we call our to book and hold them responsible

This is to all dat sai ONE NIGERIA, i say 2 hell with you, Becasue ti cann never be possible, NIGERIA is a mere collection of different tribes and religions. Today it is mend 2morrow it is boko haram. Security is zero, so wht works in that country things jus keep getting worse everyday, no value for human life, people are getgting poorer as prices of common things keep sky rocketing

DapoBear:
Probably true. But at this moment, the interests of the Yoruba people and his own overlap. Look, a rabid dog is dangerous, right? But if this rabid dog is terrorizing your enemies, then it temporarily serves a valuable purpose. You don't shoot the dog before it takes out your enemies. If the dog turns on you, then yes, you put it down.

If it comes down to it, Tinubu I think is a guy who can be relatively easily thwarted if he goes against the interests of the Yoruba people. Look, he wants the respect and admiration of the Yoruba even more than just money or power, I think.
A guy like Obasanjo is far more dangerous. OBJ doesn't give a damn whether Yoruba people like him or not. He will run roughshod over the interests of his own people to satisfy his ambitions. Tinubu has limits, I think.

Anyway, you don't have to like Tinubu, but you should be able to admit that he at the very least a powerful weapon against our enemies.

U make sense die, people fail to realise that its nt all bout money, but u can use ur money to get what u want and obj has for several years slapped we yorubas in the face along with all his pdp cronies, they are now reaping the evil seed obj has sown, he has even lost hisrespect for someone like foayose to call him a bastard, we have to restore the respect and gignity of the yoruba people

This waz y ogbulafor waz removed as pdp chairman cos he waz pro-zonning hoping dat the SE would have the presidency hence they had to shut him up with 50 or 25 ml scandal,

4. (C/NF) Discussing the politics behind the recent events in Rivers State, Pickard said Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi lacked the connections among Rivers State militant leaders to successfully co-opt them as the governors in Delta and Bayelsa states have done with militants in their states. Amaechi has more groups of militants to deal with than does Delta State, where Governor Uduaghn has reached an agreement with Tom Polo, or Bayelsa State, where Governor Silva has reached an agreement with three of five groups. (Note: She did remark that Bayelsa State militant leader, "Boyloaf" was not one of the Bayelsa militant leaders that had been "settled". End Note.). In her view the clash between the JTF and militants was a proxy war for ongoing disputes between Amaechi and XXXXXXXXXXXX (Ref B)

2 months ago I told you about the 100 Billion Naira Textile Revival Fund set up the FG. As a result textile industries previously shut down for lack of capital are being reopened. Last week, the Vice President was in Kaduna to celebrate the reopening of the United Nigerian Textiles Plc and the fact that 2000 workers will be back to work. This is just one of many that will be revived via this fund. GEJ


Please I need a review on this statement by our lovely jonahh!!! taking into consideration the lifting of ban on textile products and the harshbusiness climate in nigeria

Kobojunkie:
WOW  . . .  tori don wowo!! Now, the next question we will probably get will be "How do we know that is the voice of Tunde Bakare over on that tape? " lol

lol!!!, what reall annoys me is ppl saying der nothing bad in it, 7m? ask orubebe if hes salary in a month is up to dat i mean is normal salary as stated on his job description

“Let them go and roast in whatever stew they are cooking for themselves”- Bakare

Last Friday, Saharareporters broke the story of an attempt by President Goodluck Jonathan to bribe a visiting delegation of the Save Nigeria Group (SNG) with $50,000.

That story has been controversial since then, following a whimpering denial of the attempt by Tony Uranta, a muscle in Mr. Jonathan's inner circle, and a story in an online journal which gave the impression the convener of the SNG, Pastor Tunde Bakare, did not consider the money to have been a bribe.


 
In order to provide authentication of our story Saharareporters hereby publishes an audio of two telephone interviews with Bakare, upon which part of our stories were based.  The interviews were conducted on November 28 and 30, and the pastor confirms the bribe attempt and the accuracy of our reporting of the issue.




Bakare, known as much for his religious work as for his political activism, had confirmed on Sunday evening that the Minister of the Niger Delta, Godsday Orubebe offered the SNG delegation the sum of $50,000 on behalf of President Jonathan.   The funds were returned through Uranta shortly after it was presented to the SNG delegation.

Referring to Orubebe, Bakare is heard on the tape saying, “…I wish him well because he neither said he didn’t give us money or we didn’t return money, he just said he did not offer bribe; and he began to give me definition of bribe, unfortunately he did not go to law school but he is trying to lecture a lawyer.”

Jonathan’s attempt to bribe the SNG is a reminder of last October’s allegation by Global Information System, a private think tank of retired U.S. military strategists, of Jonathan’s ongoing “corruption of the Nigerian political process.”  The think tank reported that Jonathan was buying up delegates to the forthcoming PDP primaries for $13,000 (two million Naira) per vote.

That, however, is not the public face of Jonathan.  In a speech read for him in Jos by Vice President Namadi Sambo last Saturday, Mr. Jonathan called on Nigerians to ignore politicians who seek to win elections by offering money to groups and individuals.

Nigeria spending raises concern

Nigeria expects its budget deficit to widen to 6.1 percent of GDP this year, more than double the level set under a fiscal responsibility act three years ago, as government spending rises ahead of elections next April.

Revenue shortfalls from the oil and gas sector, unexpected wage increases, and election costs will contribute to the widening deficit, Finance Minister, Olusegun Aganga, said in an annual briefing on sub-Saharan Africa’s second biggest economy.

Government revenue is projected at 3.18 trillion naira, with expenditure expected to be 5.16 trillion, Mr. Aganga said in the review, released on Monday.

Analysts have expressed concern about the state of public finances in Africa’s most populous nation, as presidential, parliamentary, and state governorship elections approach.

Recurring expenditure accounts for more than half of the country’s overall spending, meaning it is paying more to keep government running than it is investing in badly-needed infrastructure and other capital projects.

Government borrowing has risen sharply, increasing by more than 50 percent since the start of the year, compared to private sector credit growth of just three percent over the same period.

The government has said it will also issue bonds to pay workers at former state telecoms company, Nitel, and to fund part of the electoral commission’s budget, further increasing domestic debt.

Still, the head of the debt management office has pointed to a debt-to-GDP ratio of 16 percent that is expected to remain stable next year, depending on the rate of economic growth, suggesting Nigeria could easily raise more debt if needed.

But authorities have also spent billions of dollars of oil savings since the start of the year alone, and seen foreign exchange reserves fall 20 percent year-on-year by mid-November to $34 billion.

Ratings agency, Fitch, last month, cited those factors when it cut its sovereign credit outlook for Nigeria to negative from stable.

Oil savings dwindle

The Excess Crude Account (ECA), into which Nigeria saves revenues above a benchmark oil price, has dwindled from $20 billion at the start of late President Umaru Yar’Adua’s term in 2007, to around $4.4 billion when President Goodluck Jonathan took over in May, and less than $1 billion now.

The government says the ECA has served its purpose as an account to be used to protect Nigeria against a fall in commodities prices or a global downturn.

But analysts say the reduction is alarmingly sharp during a period of relatively high oil prices - Thursday’s price of $85 a barrel is a 40 percent premium on the $60 assumption in the 2010 budget - and a recovery in Nigerian oil production.

Mr. Aganga said last week Nigeria’s foreign reserves were well below where they ought to be, and that a plan was in place to restore them.

He has also said spending for next year will be capped at 4.56 trillion naira, as the government seeks to rein in expenditure over the next three years.

Parliament approved spending of more than 4.8 trillion naira for 2010, up more than 50 percent on the previous year.

Why borrow when we can make do with what we have? When we can increase the tax rate?
